To quote "this Board":

"Our report card is defined by how well we continue to serve our members as times change, not by how we served our members in times past." [ "This" is not an "A-paper" score ...by anyone's standards]

... not exactly up to "industry standards", is it? Maybe focus on shooting par, rather than "par-ty"?
